What do you get when you take accident prevention and management and turn it into fun? The PADI Rescue diver program!
The PADI Rescue program develops your knowledge and skills so you can effectively perform diver assists and rescues, manage diving accident situations and render first aid. The program is an important step in expanding your knowledge and experience as a diver and is also a prerequisite for all PADI leadership programs.
You must have completed your Advanced Open Water Diver certification, and hold a current First Aid/CPR certification. Great Ocean Adventures can help organize an Emergency First Response course for those interested in becoming Rescue Divers.
The PADI Rescue Diver course focuses on recognizing, evaluating and avoiding potential emergency situations. In addition, these specific objectives are taught in order to handle underwater emergencies*:
